Wash your hands more often to avoid diseases!

Since the concern about swine flu epidemic in the world is growing I could not overlook this issue. I have been reading a lot of information about it on the Internet and all sources have a consensus that one of the best ways to prevent swine flu is by washing your hands thoroughly and often. A couple of sources also suggest using hand sanitizing aids.

While using, for instance, anti-bacterial soap and anti-bacterial hand cream may seem like a good idea to some people at this point in time, please, do not go to extremes and be aware of certain health risks associated with these products.

While these products may kill even 99.9% of bacteria (swine flu is a virus) as some manufactures claim, the ones that survive may turn into SUPER BUGS that are resistant to treatment by antibiotics. Therefore, we are breeding these new strong bugs ourselves without even suspecting it and they are much more dangerous than the ones that are weak and are killed by antibacterial products.

I strongly suggest reading the following article for further information on this topic: http://www.colorado.edu/PWR/occasions/articles/soap.html

A regular good old soap will kill both cold and flu viruses! Here is my favorite among liquid soaps – Pivoine Liquid Hand Soap by Yves Rocher:
YvesRocher_120x60_8/15/07
It has a wonderfully charming tender smell that in my mind is associated with spring and youth. And it has also a sweet price tag at the moment of $5.50 since it’s on SALE!
I generally love French beauty companies and Yves Rocher in particular because it is known around the world for its expertise in botanical beauty care and their products are priced within reach.
How to save even more: Yves Rocher offers the following promotion:
1. Shipment is FREE on orders $30+
2. You can choose a FREE gift with every order ( I really like that you can choose a gift yourself rather than them sending you something you actually do not need)
3. There are a couple of discount coupons you can use:
a. 15THANKS – 15% OFF any order OR
b. F4317 - $10 OFF purchase $30+
